**U13 Transition Program**
This program is designed for players transitioning from the small diamond (WHLL and WHYBL) to the larger 60/90 pro diamond next spring. Sessions will take place twice a week at Hall High School Varsity Field, focusing on preparing players for the upcoming season with skills such as infield and outfield play, live batting practice, and specific instructional scenarios like bunt defense and cut-offs. Led by POST 96 American Legion Head Coach Sean McCann, the program will also feature support from other American Legion coaches, high school coaches, and some college players. There will be inter-squad scrimmages and possibly a few games against other teams. The cost is $100, with sessions running from the week of September 2 to the week of October 21, every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, adjusting time as daylight decreases. For more information, call the hotline at 860-216-7777.
**Middle School and High School Workouts**
This program is available for players who have spent at least one season on the big diamond and wish to maintain their baseball skills while participating in other fall activities. Sessions will be held two days a week after school at Hall Varsity Field, with start times to be determined. Workouts will follow a spring training format, focusing on position play, extensive ground balls and fly balls, and on-field batting practice. Weekends will be reserved for possible scrimmages and games, subject to interest and available pitching. The cost is $75. For more information, call the hotline at 860-216-7777.
**Tobacco Valley Fall Baseball League**
For players aged 13-16 who are eager to play games, this league is ideal for those with at least one season on the big diamond. The season will kick off the week of September 16 and conclude before Halloween, featuring some weekday night games in Simsbury and weekend games. Each team will consist of 14 players, so please indicate on your registration if you are also participating in another fall sport, as a certain level of commitment is required. We aim to form 2-3 teams, contingent upon securing coaches. The cost to join is $200. Teams will be selected by September 10, with roster spots filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and a waiting list will be established once a team reaches 14 players. For questions about this program, call the hotline at 860-216-7777.
